Take Control Of Your Life

“Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.” ~ Stephen Covey

If you’ve ever changed or improved something in your life or business, especially if it was something you’d struggled with, was there was a point where you made a choice and decision to take control and do something about it?

Because we think there was. Whether we always remember the exact moment of taking charge or not, there is a point where we get ourselves into the right frame of mind or mindset to do what’s needed. If not nothing happens.

In today’s episode of the Changeability Podcast we’re thinking about why the need to take control of your life is crucial if you want to change anything or get better at something. 

In episode 5 you will find out: 

•  You can take control of what you want to change (despite what some may think)
• Why going with the flow will not get you where you want to be (if you want to be somewhere)
• Why it’s critical to take control of your life and what happens if you don’t
• How we give away our power
• What self-efficacy and why it’s a brilliant word
• You have the ability to influence events affecting you

Thinking About Thoughts

 “It's not what you have to ‘do’ that needs to change.  It’s first how you ‘think’ that needs to change. It’s who you have to ‘be’ in order to ‘do’ what needs to be done. The good news is that it doesn't cost much money to change your thinking. In fact, it can be done for free.” -  Robert Kiyosaki

In episode 4 of the Changeability podcast we're thinking about something we don't often think about  - something that we all take for granted. We're thinking about thinking. And that means thinking about thoughts.

As this week’s ‘quote of the show’ says - you can change your thinking and it can be done for free. This might depend a bit on your definition of ‘free’ as it’s not without some effort – but it can be done.

And that’s what lies at the heart of the whole idea behind Changeability.  Changing our thinking to change or improve things in our life through managing our minds or mind management. It’s what the Changeability podcast (and book) is about.

In a couple of episode’s time we’ll get more into the practical techniques and tactics for doing that. But before we get into how to do it let’s think today about what thinking is. What are our thoughts and why do they matter? 

In this episode you will find out:

• How everything starts with a thought
• How all that you are is the result of all that you think.
• What is thought
• That your thoughts really matter – and science is proving it
• How your thoughts influence your emotions, and physical and mental health
• And more!
